-Flexure is the error in telescope pointing due to the non-rigidity of the telescope mount and tube. For PCTCS flexure correction also includes polar alignment and other issues not generally considered flexure. To correct flexure in TCS we must build a flexure map. This is done by measuring the error in pointing across the sky and analyzing those measurements with tpoint ( [[http://www.tpsoft.demon.co.uk/]]). +Flexure is the error in telescope pointing due to the non-rigidity of the telescope mount and tube.
